Abstract: Increasingly, Oil & Gas companies are deploying intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and other smart apparatus on Oil & Gas (O & G) well pads along with (Saltwater Disposal sites) SWD and LACT (Local Area Custody Transfer) units and Gas Pipelines. As well as equipping O & G field workers with laptop, tablet and handheld computers. They are also installing specialized edge computers and MQTT software on Oil & Gas Pad locations, plus enterprise software applications in their data centers to automate various facets of utility operations. These technologies are often labeled Smart Field. They enable valuable applications such as SCADA and IT information, Oil & Gas Well automation, Oil & Gas distribution automation, power outage management, emergency shutdown, and the ability to manage alternative energy sources such as solar and thermal electric generators (TEG units) at remote locations without AC power. LTE, 4G and 5G cellular networks will be used more as stand alone or redundant networks.
